Born, August 10th, 1881,
DANIEL MANNING,

From until IL o'clock the personal
friends of Mr.. Manning were permitted
to look upon the face of the dead,
which looked its original self, save for
the impress left by the ravages of the
struggle for life he had undergone.
Callers came from all stations in life,
and men whose names are historical,
Wed with those whose lot is humble in
the last evidence of respect to the de-
parted.
Shortly before 100 Rev. DR.. Reese
offered a prayer at the house, only
members Of the family being present.
The sad leave taking of the fond
husband and devoted father then
had its fearful ending. The lid was
closed and the coffin borne to the
hearse by the following stalwart fore
men of the mechanical department of
the Argus establishment: James j..
Wall. N. J. McNulty, n. J.. Nolan,
George S. Tice, John Gray and David
| II. Wade.
The pail bearers were Charles J..
| Canda, New York, vice-president of
the Western National Bank, of which
Mr.. Manning was president; Sidney
Webster. New York, one of the ex-sec-
| retary'S most intimate friends while at
| Washington; United States Senator A.
P. German, Maryland; c. n. Jordan,
New York, of the Western National
| Bank: CONGRESSMAN Samuel J. Ran
dali. Philadelphia; Manton Marble,
Judge Rufus w. Peckham, Simon w.
Rosendale. Erastus Corning, John H.
Van Antwerp, ex-senator Roscoe
COnkling, New York, and Pascal +.
Pratt.
The funeral procession took its way
/ to st. Paul's Church. \ good portion
| of the church was held in reserve for
| the family, pail bearers, representa-
| tives. organizations and others. The
| Christmas everQreens were still in their
places. at 1:30 O'Clock. as the people
began to arrive, the organist sounded
| the opening chords of Chopin's March
| Funebre' and then followed choice
programme of appropriate music.
AS the last strains of ''Gounod S
March were concluded the cortege
reached the church, and the main doors
were opened. The coffin was berne
| from the hearse, being met at the en-
trance by the Rector of St. Paul's, Rev
j. Livingston Reese, Bishop Doane,
Rev. Mr.. Prawle, Rev, DIR. E. n. Pot
ter, Rev. DR.: Battershan Canon Rob-
bins. Canon Fuleher, Rev. SwarZ, Rev.
Mr. Woodman, Rev. Mr.. Kenyon, Rev.
Mr. Gray, Rev. Mr.. Chapman and Rev.
| Mr. SeIkirke. AS the procession
marched up the aisle, DR.. Reese began
the reading of the burial service, be-
| ginning ~ am the resurrection and
| the life
The coffin was placed upon the bier,
which was covered with evergreens and
palms. The bearers, mourners. and
| those that followed took their places.
After Doctor Reese had read the usual
lesson from the first epistle of st. Paul
to the Corinthians, Now is Christ
risen from the dead, and become the
first fruits OF them that slept" the an
l them ST heard voice from
heaven was rendered. Prayers by
Bishop Doane were followed by more
singing, and as the bishop pronounced
the words of the benediction, the choir
sang Asleep in Jesus"
The casket was again taken to the
house, and then to the cemetery, being
followed by many carriages.
The beil in the city hall was tolled
during the entire time the exercises
lasted, and added greatly to the sol
emnity of the occasion.
